Not long ago we had a post that discussed the role that podcasts have been playing in the design field. After which we were asked for a post that focused on more web design and development related podcasts for our readers. Something of a proverbial playlist of shows that are currently helping to shape the fields from the virtual airwaves. So here we are!

We scoured the bountiful podcast offerings that the design and development community have on offer these days, and found some great shows to point our readers towards. Naturally, every one has different tastes, so we tried to assemble a nice mix of styles and show formats so that there is something that every one will find appealing in this list.

Take a look down through all of these shows and see if any of the descriptions trip your trigger. Then follow the links to their sites, or the images to their iTunes feed to check out the show for yourself.

On With the Shows

There are hours upon hours of web design and development podcasts gathered for you here. From instructional to conversational to informative, the spectrum they span is as impressive as the shows themselves. Enjoy.

PageBreak is a design, business and marketing-themed podcast hosted by Liz Andrade and Niki Brown. The main goal of the club is to build a strong online community of designers, developers, freelancer (like ourselves) and to encourage people to read more and share their ideas and opinions!

If the fantastic insights weren’t enough, the back and forth between the hosts gives one a sense of being in on the conversation…in a completely passive manner, but still, immersed in the discussion.

ExplicitWeb is a regularly recorded podcast all about the front lines of website design and development. These typically half-hour shows are made up of hosts Rob Hawkes, Hannah Wolfe and John O’Nolan discussing the finer points of the industry, as well as sharing helpful tips and information for the savvy web professional.

Like the title states, this is an explicit show. However, it does offer a comprehensive look at the design and development industries that resonates with a number of fans. Might be just the show you are looking for.

The ATX Web Show is a podcast all about the web design and development community in Austin, TX. Our city is consistently rated as one of the top cities in America and our mission is to highlight what is coming out of the web community here. From apps, to design, to startups, to indie developers; we dive into the never-ending stream of talented web creators. Hosted by Dave Rupert and his co-hosts Trent Walton and Reagan Ray

While focused mainly on what is happening in Austin, the show still acts as a good resource for all members of the design and development communities. Certainly worth a listen, might just be your cup of tea.

With over a hundred episodes, this weekly roundtable discussion is a virtual goldmine of development information.

Web Design 1

If it is the instructional (Fireworks and Dreamweaver specific) that you are seeking in your design podcast playlist, then this is certainly the one for you. Loads of content to check out.

A candid look at digital technology from the people trusted by tech giants like Apple, Microsoft and Oracle, major organizations like AstraZeneca, General Motors and BarackObama.com, and hundreds of hungry start-ups.

An interesting and explicit podcast that takes on living in this digital age and the technology that is driving it.

Design Critique encourages usable product designs for a better customer experience. Using principles and experience from our careers helping clients and employers create usable products, we critique software and hardware based on long-term experience with them in our own lives. We also interview our peers in the user experience-related fields of User-Centered Design (UCD), human-computer interaction (HCI), usability engineering, information architecture, technical communication, interaction design, customer research, and more! All while maintaining a light-hearted spirit of inquiry about how we can improve the world by designing products that serve people better.

While not strictly web design related, there is a lot of useful usability and user focused design content that lands with designers across the board. Given that it is all about building a better customer experience, we can all learn something from these poignant dissections.
